This was a good recipe, my Mexican in laws loved them! I also ran into trouble getting the dough to rise. Next time i am thinking of trying the highly active yeast. It did rise some after I mixed it all together and let it sit to start the topping. But after putting them on the pan to let them sit the additional 45 min, they did nothing. Also, the 20 min. baking time was a little too long for me as the bottom was quite brown and hardened. I plan to make some adjustments to the recipe and see if it works better for me.

This is the best recipe!! Very easy to make. They stay soft and moist. I have made them several times in the past couple of weeks as everyone who's tried one asks me to bake them. I love eating them too, by far my favorite cookie.
